In the early days of Will's career come-up, he and Garcelle Beauvais were frequent collaborators, Beauvais having starred with him in a few episodes of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" between 1992 and 1995 and "Wild Wild West" in 1999. Beauvais mentioned she briefly dated Will in a 2020 episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," saying, "He was hot. He was a bachelor, I was single, you know, it happens in Hollywood." Speaking directly to his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, Beauvais dropped the bombshell that she dated Will before Zampino did, and the three then joked that they were in a throuple, per Entertainment Tonight.
Beauvais and Will continued their working relationship, even after their split, and seem to be on good terms. In 2018, she posted a picture on social media of their onscreen kiss in "Wild Wild West" to wish the actor a happy 50th birthday, which garnered backlash from fans who felt it inappropriate considering Will is married, according to BET. In the end, she took it down, explaining she thought it was all in good fun and meant no harm.
